Grandpa Yan: "I'm so sorry I couldn't say my goodbyes to your mother, but this is truly very sudden and unexpected, so have you made up your mind?"
Alan: "Indeed, Grandpa. I did, after much careful consideration; I don't think the path of elite universities is for me to take."
Laura: "New soldiers probably go through the initial training period. Do you know how long it will take you to get back?"
Alan shook his head.
Alan: "I don't even know when the recruiters will come, but I will definitely visit whenever I have a vacation."
Carla: "We will miss you so much; you better visit us as soon as you get a leave."
Grandpa Yan: "After the incident, although no one could place the blame on us, some in the capital tried but failed miserably, as I have been called back to the capital for the new position in HQ with both of my granddaughters offered a better position. All of that would not have happened without you, so please let this old man thank you."
